Punta de Jandía Lighthouse

At the southern end of Fuerteventura is the Jandía Isthmus.  It is a peculiar and exclusive landscape which hosts within its territory many natural and cultural assets. This prompted its classification as Natural Park in 1987.  It consists of a volcanic landscape in which abrupt cliffs contrast with gentle slopes.

The Jandía Natural  Park Interpretation Centre is divided into five differently coloured zones.  The theme for each room is detailed to follow:

Zone 1 (orange room): Within its 14.318,5 hectares the Jandía Natural park includes all types of habitat to be found in Fuerteventura. That is why this is the space dedicated to an explanation of the geological characteristics of the area.

Zone 2 (green room): Vegetation and Flora. Precisely due to the diversity of habitats, there is extensive vegetable diversity: halophytic and psammophytic vegetation, the chenopodiaceae shrub, remains of a thermophilic forest, hygrophytic vegetation, marine vegetation, etc. As well as species as important as cactus and tabaiba, and many others.  Therefore, the vegetation and the flora of the area is what we will find in this part of the centre.

Zone 4 (blue room): In this part of the centre we will find information about birds, reptiles, terrestrial fauna, terrestrial and marine invertebrates, etc. Special mention is made of those species which are indigenous to the island or the Archipelago.
